These beautifully caramelized roasted carrots are ready in about 30 minutes, and you'll only need five simple ingredients to make them.

Ingredients

  • 1 poundcarrots (small and firm)
  • 2 tablespoonsolive oil (or melted unsalted butter)
  • 1 tablespoonhoney
  • ½ teaspoondiamond crystal kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoonblack pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper, or use a 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Wash the carrots, dry them well, and peel them.

  2. 2

    If using large carrots, halve them crosswise and then halve their thick part lengthwise. Your goal is to have similarly sized carrot chunks. If using small carrots, you can leave them whole.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl or directly in the pan, toss the carrots with olive oil, honey, kosher salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Spread the carrots on the prepared pan in a single layer. Roast until they are tender and browned, 10-15 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
